IV Life

IV Life is the fourth album by West Coast hip hop artist King Tee. It is his first album released by MCA Records on March 28, 1995 after his split with Capitol Records. It stands as one of King Tee's most diverse albums production-wise as not only King Tee and DJ Pooh produced tracks, but DJ Broadway, Mark Sparks and plenty of other producers lacking previous relationships with King Tee also produce. The production on this album is sample reliant and artists sampled include A Tribe Called Quest (on "You Can't See Me"), The Four Tops (on "Dippin'"), Freddie Hubbard (on "3 Strikes Ya' Out") and Grover Washington, Jr. (on "Down Ass Loc"). Upon release, IV Life received an above average critical reception and reached #10 on the Top Heatseekers list. 'It contains King Tee's last charting single, "Dippin'," which has been described as a classic track to play in a car. It also contains two less popular singles, "Way Out There" and "Free Style Ghetto" featuring Breeze, Tha Alkaholiks and Likwit Crew newcomer, Xzibit.
